Even though Fallout has proved to be a huge success, having broken numerous viewing records for Prime Video,Amazonis not resting on its laurels. It already has another huge sci-fi series up its sleeve, and this one could turn out to be even more popular.
Blade Runner 2099was first announced at the end of 2021, with Amazon picking up the Ridley Scott produced TV sequel the following year. Production started last month (April) and it has now been revealed that the superb Michelle Yeoh will play a lead role.
Yeoh is no stranger to science fiction, having starred in multiple series ofStar Trek: Discoveryas Philippa Georgiou. She is also set to reprise the role in a spinoff movie,Star Trek: Section 31for the Paramount+streaming service.
Little else is really known about the show so far, save for the fact that it is set 50 years after the events in the last movie.
Scott previously announced that a pilot had been written and the show’s bible (for the production to follow) existed. However, it was also recently revealed that filming will start in Prague soon.
Amazon PrimeVideo will be the exclusive home for Blade Runner 2099 when it finally hits our screens. Considering how much effects work will be needed, it could be a fair while before it’s ready, however.
